This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract In order to overcome serious instability problems in hydratable shale formations, a novel electropositive wellbore stabilizer (EPWS) was prepared by a new approach. It has good colloidal stability, particle size distribution, compatibility, sealing property, and flexible adaptability. A variety of methods including measurements of particle size, Zeta potential, colloidal stability, contact angle, shale stability index, shale dispersion, shale swelling, and plugging experiments were adopted to characterize the EPWS and evaluate its anti-sloughing capacity and flexible adaptability. Results show that the EPWS has advantages over the conventional wellbore stabilizer (ZX-3) in particle size distribution, colloidal stability, inhibition, compatibility, and flexible adaptability. The EPWS with an average particle size of 57 nm and an average Zeta potential of 5 mv could be stable for 17 days and be compatible with salt tolerant or positive charged additives, and it also exhibited preferable anti-sloughing performance to hydratable shales at 77,, and C, and better compatibility with sodium bentonite than ZX-3 and KCl.

Keywords Shale Wellbore stabilizer Colloidal stability Plugging Hydrophobic modification 1 Introduction The preservation of the wellbore stability has fundamental importance during oil and gas well drilling. About 75 % of the side walls of oil and gas wellbores consist of shale and mud rocks, which are responsible for 9 % of the wellbore instability problems (Corrêa and Nascimento 5; Jiang et al. 1;Wangetal.1a, b; Huang et al. 7). Several types of shales with a significant amount of clay minerals are very reactive once they come into contact with water, and they can cause serious wellbore instability during drilling, like hole shrinkage and hole sloughing and caving (Hisham ; Wang et al. 1a, b; Zhang et al. 13a, b). Wellbore stability has been studied for a long time using mainly two quite different approaches. Some authors consider the problem exclusively from the point of view of rock mechanics and others from the point of view of chemical interactions between shales and fluids (Wu et al. 1993; Corrêa and Nascimento 5). Based on the second approach, a variety of water-based drilling fluids and non-aqueous fluids have been applied; meanwhile, many types of wellbore stabilizers have been developed. These wellbore stabilizers have been classified into several groups, including inorganic salts, formate, polymers with special shale affinity, asphalts, sugars and sugar derivatives, glycerol, polyalcohol, and silicates (Van Oort 3; Guo et al. ; Khodjaetal.; Jiang et al. 11; Zhong et al. 11). Among of them, asphalts as 13
2 Pet. Sci. (15) 1: one type of cheap and effective stabilizer can improve wellbore stabilization mainly through plugging or sealing, and they have been divided into four varieties according to modification methods: natural asphalt (no modification, mined from deposit), oxidized asphalt (oxidation by air blown to heighten softening point), sulfonated bitumen (changed into asphalt sulfonate partly to enhance water solubility), and emulsified asphalt (oil in water emulsion to improve dispersion in the drilling fluid and adsorption on the rock surface) (Sharma and Wunderlich 1987; Wang et al. 5). All types of emulsified asphalts are mostly produced by shearing and thinning a mixture of asphalt, water, and emulsifier using an emulsion machine or a colloid mill. Ionic surfactants are often used as emulsifier, so the emulsified asphalt droplets are mostly charged and possess an electric double layer structure, according to the Stern model (Xie et al. 5; Fan et al. 1). Cationic emulsified asphalts have taken the place of anionic ones in drilling fluids to promote inhibition and adsorption (Shi et al. 3;Wang and Xia ). In this paper, a novel cationic emulsified asphalt was investigated to overcome serious instability problems during drilling hydratable shale formations. It had good colloidal stability, particle size distribution, compatibility, sealing property, and flexible adaptability. Experimental.1 Materials Asphalts used in this study are listed in Table 1. #diesel was purchased from the Ruida Chemical Co. Ltd., Jinan, China. Liquid protecting agent (sorbitanoleate) and emulsifier (stearyltrimethyl ammonium chloride) were purchased from the First Chemical Co., Ltd., Dongying, China. Cationic polymer was supplied by the Nur Chemical Co. Ltd., Dongying, China. Hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium oxide, and sodium hydroxide were all of analytical grade and commercially available. Sodium bentonite was purchased from the Boyou Bentonite Group Co., Ltd., China. Calcium bentonite was obtained from the Weifang Huawei Bentonite Group Co., Ltd., China, following the American Petroleum Institute (API) standard. Shale samples were taken from the Santai oilfield, Xinjiang, China. ZX-3 (cationic emulsified asphalt), DYFT-1 (sulfonated asphalt), SDT-8 (amphoteric polymer), CPAM (cationic polyacrylamide), SD-1 (sulfonated phenolic resin), CXB-3 (sulfonated lignite), PMHA- (amphoteric polymer), NPAN (polyacrylonitrile ammonium), SMP- 1 (sulfonated phenolic resin), SPNH (sulfonated lignite), XY-7 (polymer viscosity reducer), and SD-5 (liquid lubricant) were of technical grade sourced from the Drilling Technology Research Institute of the Western Drilling Engineering Company, Xinjiang, China. Sand filter disks were purchased from the Geological Science Research Institute of Shengli Oilfield, Dongying, China.. Preparation of an electropositive wellbore stabilizer (EPWS) Preparation of an electropositive wellbore stabilizer involved the following steps: after the addition of # diesel (8 g) in a 5-mL three-neck flask, the diesel was heated to 115 C using a thermostat oil bath, adding plant asphalt A ( g), petroleum asphalt B ( g), asphalt C ( g), and asphalt D ( g) successively while stirring at rpm. The stirring speed was then adjusted to 5 rpm, and the mixture was heated to 1 C. The temperature was lowered to 95 C after asphalts were dissolved completely (about 3 min), then the liquid protecting agent (1 g), emulsifier ( g), and calcium oxide (7 g) were added together with deionized water (55 g), stirring for 3 min at 95 C. The concentrated hydrochloric acid (1 g) was added, stirring for min at 95 C; wt% calcium chloride solution (5 g), and 1 wt% cationic polymer solution (33 g) were finally added to the mixture, stirring for min at 95 C. Then stirring was stopped, and the temperature was lowered to no more than 55 C. An electropositive wellbore stabilizer (EPWS) was finally obtained with pour-out of the oil in water emulsion from the three-neck flask. A schematic view of the asphalt emulsion is shown in Fig Characterization and evaluation.3.1 Zeta potential and particle size distribution measurements Zeta potentials and particle size distributions of test solutions were measured with a Zetasizer 3 (Malvern Table 1 Asphalts and their softening points Sample Softening point, C Source Plant asphalt A 51.7 Wanshun Chemical Factory Petroleum asphalt B 78.

(15) 1: Shale swelling Lipophilic group Asphalt Emulsifier Water Hydrophilic group A total mass of g powders were added to a mold and compressed at 15 MPa for 5 min to prepare a core sample. The height of the core sample was measured and recorded as H. Then the mold was fixed onto a linear swell meter (NP-A, Haitongda Company, China), the heights of the core sample were recorded 8 h after the test liquid had been added to the sample container..3. Shale stability index Fig. 1 Schematic view of the asphalt emulsion Instrument, United Kingdom) (Fadaie et al. ). The equipment was turned on and preheated for 15 min. Then a diluted emulsion was added, and the particle size was measured. A total of 5 ml of the diluted emulsion were injected into the sample container, and the Zeta potential was determined..3. Stability test The stability of colloid, foam, and suspension was quantitatively evaluated with a Turbiscan stability analyzer (Formulation Company, France) (Wiśniewska ; Kang et al. 11)..3.3 Fabric analysis Some of shale fragments were first ground into powder. The diameter of some of them was less than 15 lm, and the others were no bigger than 58 lm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed on 3 g of powdered shale sample (smaller than 58 lm) with an X-ray diffractometer (Rigaku D/max-IIIA, Japan) (Wang et al. 9). A scanning electron microscope (Hitachi, S-8) was used to observe the microstructure of the fresh appearance of several fragments (Klaver et al. 1)..3. Shale dispersion In this test, 5 g of shale cuttings ( 5 mm) was added to the test slurry in a conventional fluid cell. Then the fluid cell with cuttings was hot rolled in a conventional roller oven at different temperatures (77,, and C) for 1 h. After hot rolling, the cuttings were screened through a 1-mm size sieve and washed with tap water. After drying, the amount and percent recovered cuttings were determined (Zhong et al. 1). Shale stability index (SSI) values were determined to define the surface conditions of shale samples before and after exposure to test fluids lm shale particles were mounted in a holder and compressed. Then the hardness of shale samples was measured with a penetrometer before and after exposure to the test fluids..3.7 Compatibility evaluation The test slurry was a mixture (w/v) of sodium bentonite ( %, 3 %, %, 5 %, %, or 7 %),.3 % NPAN,.3 % SDT-8, 3 % CXB-3, 3 % SD-1,.5 % CaCl,1% SD-5,.3 % XY-7, inhibitors (3 % KCl, 3 % ZX-3, 3 % EPWS separately), and deionized water. The mixture was stirred for 5 min at a high speed of, rpm and then aged for h at room temperature. The base slurry was composed of % (w/v) calcium bentonite, 3 % EPWS and fluid loss agents (1 % SDT-8, 1 % PMHA-,.3 % CPAM,.3 % NPAN, 3 % SMP-1, 3 % SD-1, 3 % SPNH and 3 % CXB-3, respectively), and deionized water. This slurry was also stirred for min at, rpm and then aged for h at room temperature. Aging experiments of muds were carried out in a XGRL- type rolling oven at 15 C for 1 h. Mud properties were characterized before and after aging. According to API recommended practice of standard procedures (Recommended Practice 1988), the rheological parameters were calculated from and 3 rpm readings, which were measured with a ZNN-D six type speed viscometer. API filtration of each slurry was evaluated with a ZNS- A filter press under a pressure of 89.5 kpa for 3 min.. Investigation of anti-sloughing mechanism The particle size distribution of the test mud containing % (w/v) sodium bentonite,.3 % NPAN,.3 % SDT-8, 3 % CXB-3, 3 % SD-1,.5 % CaCl,1%SD-5,.3% XY-7, and inhibitors (3 % KCl, 3 % ZX-3, 3 % EPWS separately) was measured with a Bettersize laser particle size analyzer. Sealing performance of the test mud was evaluated using PPA-A permeable plugging apparatus at 13
4 Pet. Sci. (15) 1: MPa for 3 min. The HTHP filtrate of each mud was tested using a GGS- high pressure high temperature filter tester at a pressure difference of 3.5 MPa and different temperatures (7, 8, 9,, 1,, 13, 1, and 15 C) for 3 min. The wettability of samples was determined from contact angle measurements by a JCD5M contact angle meter using plate-like shale cores. 3 Results and discussion 3.1 Characterization Particle size distribution of ZX-3 and EPWS is presented in Fig.. The EPWS particles averaged 57 nm in diameter, ranging from 35 to 9 nm. Similar particle distribution was observed for cationic emulsified asphalt ZX-3, and the particles ranged from 7 to 15 nm with an average of 8 nm. This indicates that EPWS was a more stable and better dispersing emulsion. It can be seen from Fig. 3 that the Zeta potential of ZX-3 ranged from 5 to 7 mv with an average of 5 mv, while that of EPWS ranged from 3 to 75 mv and averaged 5 mv. The higher the positive Zeta potential of the emulsified asphalt, the stronger inhibition it would have by compressing diffuse double layers, adsorption onto the surfaces of clay and rock through electrostatic attraction, and worse compatibility with other additives and bentonite base slurry, because they are negatively charged, leading to poor stability and difficulty in controlling the viscosity and filtration. So the Zeta potential of EPWS was adjusted to about 55 mv to provide the stronger inhibition and the better compatibility at the same time. The colloidal stability of the emulsified asphalt affects its storage and dispersion in drilling fluids. The colloidal stability of ZX-3 and EPWS is shown in Fig.. The transmitted and scattered light through the sample was recorded every h. The test curves of ZX-3 and EPWS did not change with time extending for 9 days. After the infrared scanning test, the samples were kept standing for a long time for further observation. No solid liquid separation was observed for ZX-3 and EPWS after standing for 11 and 17 days, respectively. Therefore, the EPWS exhibited excellent colloidal stability because the pre-dissolved cationic acrylamide with positive charges was added at the final stage after the oil in water emulsion had been formed (Li et al. 1; Zhao et al. 1). 3. Inhibition 3..1 Fabric and hydration properties of shale samples Mineral composition (in wt%) of shale samples and the relative abundance of clay minerals (kaolinite, chlorite, illite, and smectite) are listed in Tables and 3, separately. Rock samples from the Shuangfanggou Formation contained dominantly clay minerals (5.3 %) and quartz (8.7 %), followed by anorthoclase (15 %), potash feldspar (7 %), calcite ( %), and hematite (.3 %). Smectite was the main component of samples (9 % 9 %), with an average of 9 %, followed by illite (3 % 5 %), kaolinite 8 % in class % in class Diameter, nm Diameter, nm Fig. Particle size distributions of a ZX-3 and b EPWS 13

High proportions of smectite may lead to severe wellbore instability problems during drilling of this formation due to hydration, swelling, dispersion, and mudding of smectite. The shale sample from the Jiucaiyuan Formation contained only 3 % clay minerals, but which is still mainly composed of smectite, making borehole wall collapse likely. SEM images of the shale sample from well T 1 s ( m) are shown in Fig. 5. It can be seen from images that the microstructure of the shale was loose, and 13

Recovery of shale samples from the Santai oilfield averaged 5. %, with a range from.3 % to 7. %. This indicates that the shale is easy to hydrate and disperse in water. Linear swelling of shale samples was between 15. % and 18.1 % with an average of 17.3 %, indicating that the shale samples have high hydration capacity and swelling performance. The swelling was very high at the initial stage once the shale contacted water, and increased slowly after half an hour up to a final maximum at 8 h (Fig. ).

To prevent sloughing of this formation during operations, excellent inhibition and sealing characteristics of drill in fluids are required. 3.. Comparative assessment of inhibition T 1 s (8 5 m) T 1 s ( m) T 1 8 (39 m) T 1 s (53 58 m) Fig. Linear swelling of shale samples from the Santai oilfield As shown in Fig. 7, % KCl solution, 3 % ZX-3 suspension, and 3 % EPWS suspension all exhibited better capacity to inhibit swelling of shale powders and sodium bentonite compared to distilled water. The linear swelling of shale powders from well T 1 s (8 5 m) within 8 h was reduced from 18.1 % to 15. % for % KCl, 9.3 % for 3 % ZX-3 and 7.9 % for 3 % EPWS. The linear swelling of sodium bentonite was decreased from 38. % to 33. % by % KCl, to.5 % by 3 % ZX-3 and to 17.9 % by 3 % EPWS. Moreover, the swelling of shale powders and sodium bentonite at the initial stage was clearly lowered by ZX-3 and EPWS. Among evaluated samples, the EPWS had the best capacity to inhibit hydration and swelling of shales. Experimental results of the shale recovery and SSI measurements are presented in Fig. 8. The recovery and the SSI of samples in distilled water were very low, indicating easily hydration and dispersion in water and poor stability of the shale formation. The shale recovery and SSI reduced with an increase in temperature, suggesting that at high temperatures shale hydration would be promoted thus causing shale deterioration and wellbore instability. The recovery of shale particles was increased from 7.1 % to 9.9 % for % KCl, to 35.7 % for 3 % ZX-3, and to.1 % for 3 % EPWS at 77 C, while the SSI of shale powders rose from.1 to.9 mm for % KCl, to 53.7 mm for 3 % ZX-3, and to 5. mm for 3 % EPWS.

The EPWS exhibited superlative performance in depressing hydration and improving wellbore stability at 77,, and C, corroborating its flexible adaptability to temperature. 3.3 Compatibility Figure 9 reveals the effect of inhibitors on the plastic viscosity and filtration of drilling fluids containing different SSI, mm amounts of sodium bentonite. Addition of 3 % KCl, 3 % ZX-3, or 3 % EPWS to the base slurry increased the plastic viscosity of the slurry in that they compressed the diffuse double layers of clay particles, leading to more face to edge connections in the system (Fig. 9a). The plastic viscosity of the slurry containing 3 % EPWS increased slowly as the content of sodium bentonite increased from 3 % to 7 %, showing its good compatibility with bentonite. The filtrate from the base slurry was smaller before adding 3 % KCl, 3 % ZX-3, or 3 % EPWS and reduced with an increase in the bentonite content (Fig. 9b). The effect of EPWS on filtration of the slurry containing different contents of sodium bentonite was lesser than ZX-3 and KCl, corroborating its preferable compatibility with bentonite and plugging property in drilling fluids. It could be seen from Table that SDT-8, CPAM, SD-1, and CXB-3 exhibited better ability to control fluid loss among the evaluated samples. SDT-8 is an amphoteric polymer with an intermediate molecular weight of about 1,, and good salt tolerance. CPAM is one type of cationic polyacrylamide with a cationic degree of 5 %. SD-1 is a sulfonated phenolic resin of a high sulfonation degree, more than 5 %, and tolerant to saturated salt water. CXB-3 is a sulfonated lignite, and tolerant to salt. It can be concluded that the EPWS is compatible with Base slurry Base slurry+ 3 % KCl Base slurry + 3 % ZX-3 Base slurry + 3 % EPWS.8 Plastic viscosity, mpa s 18 1 Fluid loss, ml Base slurry Base slurry + 3 % KCl Base slurry + 3 % ZX-3 Base slurry + 3 % EPWS Content of sodium bentonite, wt% Content of sodium bentonite, wt% Fig. 9 Effect of inhibitors on intake capacity of drilling fluids. a Plastic viscosity; b Filtrate 13

Mechanism of stabilizing the borehole 3..1 Plugging Accumulation Diff Particle size, μm Fig. Particle size distribution of the test slurry containing 3 % EPWS The particle size of the test slurry containing 3 % EPWS ranged from.3 to 71.5 lm, with an average diameter of 3.8 lm (Fig.). Other characteristic values included D 3 8 Diff, % of.739 lm, D of.91 lm, D of lm, D 1 of 1.8 lm, D 5 of lm, D 75 of.3 lm, D 8 of 1.1 lm, D 9 of.8 lm. Therefore, the test slurry may penetrate and deposit in the pores and micro-fractures in the loose shale formations, whose micro-fracture and pore diameter ranges from 7. to 1 lm according the particle bridging rule. A sand filter disk with permeability of lm, pore diameter of. 15 lm was chosen to evaluate the sealing capacity of the EPWS (Fig. 11a). An external mud cake was formed at the sand filter disk surface during percolating and plugging, with a thickness of lm (Fig. 11b). The thickness of the sealing belt near the external mud cake was about 13 lm, where the inner mud cake was formed. The compacted external mud cake and sealing belt may reduce and prevent the filtrate from invading into the deeper shale formations and retarding pressure transmission. Filtration of the test slurry containing 3 % DYFT-1, 3 % ZX-3, and 3 % EPWS separately was conducted at high temperatures and high pressures (HTHP), and the experimental results are presented in Fig. 1. TheHTHPfiltrate of the test slurry containing sulfonated asphalt DYFT-1 (softening point, C) decreased at the first half stage to a minimum value of 11 ml at C, then increased at the second half stage when the test temperature changed from 7 to 15 C. When it comes to the slurries containing ZX-3, especially EPWS, the HTHP filtrate increased slowly with an increase in the test temperature. 13
10 Pet. Sci. (15) 1: The reason for this phenomenon lies in the sealing capacity of the sulfonated asphalt depends on its softening point and optimal plugging performance can be obtained at a temperature about C less than the softening point while that of the emulsified asphalt is affected by more factors such as the particle size of emulsion droplets, stability of the emulsion, and softening point of the asphalt used. The temperature generally increases with wellbore extension to deep formations, so the EPWS is more flexible than DYFT-1 and ZX-3 for plugging shale formations in long open-hole intervals. Fig. 11 SEM images of sand filter disk. a Before plugging; b After plugging 3.. Hydrophobic modification of shale surfaces Contact angle results are illustrated in Fig. 13. It can be clearly seen that water spreads adequately on the original shale surface with a low contact angle of 7.. In contrast, the contact angles of the water droplet on the shale surface modified by suspensions containing DYFT-1, ZX-3, or EPWS were much higher, with the average contact angle of.3, 38., and 91.7, respectively. Hydrophobic performance of the sulfonated asphalt mainly depends on its soluble parts, while that of the emulsified asphalt depends on more factors such as the emulsifier used, emulsion stability, asphalt properties, and the oil phase (diesel was used to prepare EPWS). The aqueous phase in the drilling fluid would be prevented from coming into contact with the shale surface after hydrophobic modification. Therefore, the EPWS could reduce filtrate invasion through modifying its surface wettability, thus inhibiting surface hydration of shales effectively. Fluid loss, ml DYFT-1 ZX-3 EPWS Temperature, Fig. 1 Effect of temperature on the test slurries containing 3 % DYFT-1, ZX-3, and EPWS separately Conclusions 1. Particle size distribution of cationic emulsified asphalt droplets was optimized by dissolving asphalt in diesel and emulsifying it with diesel and water together. Colloidal stability of cationic emulsified asphalt droplets was enhanced through increasing the viscosity of the emulsion using a cationic polymer solution. The Zeta potential of cationic emulsified asphalt droplets was adjusted to a suitable value by selecting the emulsifier and its dosage.. Newly synthesized EPWS with an average particle size of 57 nm and an average Zeta potential of 5 mv could be stable for 17 days, superior to the cationic emulsified asphalt ZX-3 prepared by the conventional method. 13

The EPWS exhibited better flexible adaptability than ZX-3 and KCl to temperature at inhibition, sealing capacity, and preferable compatibility with sodium bentonite, salt tolerant, or positive charged additives.. The EPWS could plug micro-fractures and pores through forming a tight external mud cake and a sealing belt to retard pressure transmission and prevent filtrate invasion, enhancing hydrophobicity of the shale surface by adsorption to inhibit hydration.
